My story

I was born in Lebanon where I lived until I married my English husband in the 1990s and moved to Wiltshire.  I am the youngest of 7 siblings and food and dancing were at the heart of our family life.

My inspiration for cookery comes from my Mum who found the best way to show her love was through the food she put on the table.  My Mum’s recipes, passed down the generations,  are traditional, simple and tasty.  I believe eating should be a pleasure as much as a necessity and the relationship between people and food defines the culture of a place.  I love transforming simple, healthy and affordable ingredients into mouth-watering dishes which people can recreate in their own kitchens.

Belly dancing is also extremely good for your health and wellbeing – it promotes good posture, increases the flexibility of the whole body and reduces stress levels.
